Instant organic vegetable garden

[Armorel]

I was browsing through my Gardening bookmarks and revisiting some interesting sites this evening when I ended up here:

I'm quite interested in the Worm Cast natural fertiliser which, apparently, is quite light to ship. I haven't tried them yet but has anyone else?

Get yourself a wormery and 'make' your own. There's quite a few recent threads about what kind of wormery to buy, just stick 'wormery' in the search box. Its not particularly light stuff though.

I still have the worm bin that we got about fifteen years ago but it was never very successful unfortunately. It got too hot/cold, dry/wet and then it got blown over and cracked so we had to weight it down with big stones Oh, and it brought complaints from people working on their boats on the green next door because of the stink when I drained off some of the liquid to use as fertiliser.

It's also very expensive to ship anything large over to Scilly and it's getting more expensive every year as companies slap surcharges on for 'Highlands and Islands' shipping

I have bought loads of the worm cast fertiliser to use this season. My local garden centre was selling it off at £1.32 a tub, it is last years so is out of date but I am sure it will be fab. A lovely product, so fine and easy to use.

I've bought worm casts from WigglyWigglers, mixed it with compost to grow potatoes, it did a great job! Never used Rocket Gradens though, so can't comment on their service.

A wormery shouldn't smell at all apart from a basic composting type smell so it sounds like your mix had gone off - easy mistake to make when you first start out, especially if you feed the little wrigglers too much too soon. Worm compost is brilliant stuff but I'd really advise for you to try again with the wormery as then you'd have no need for any further postage costs - if you want a new one then there's a link to a make your own site somewhere on another thread.

Always thought these look good.

ps worms should not smell, we've moved three times with our 'full' wormery and never had a problem with the removals staff at all.
